Scrap Car Market in Ottawa
Ottawa's extreme winters are hard on vehicles. Road salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and harsh temperatures accelerate corrosion faster than anywhere else in southern Ontario — which means Ottawa has a consistently high volume of vehicles entering the scrap market each year. The presence of a large civil service workforce and frequent vehicle turnover also keeps the market active. Both east Ottawa (Orleans, Gloucester) and west Ottawa (Kanata, Nepean) are well-served by licensed scrap yards.
